Whether it be hillwalking, mountaineering, climbing, kayaking, canoeing, skiing or snowboarding, all of these adventure sports give me the same rush of adrenaline, excitement and thrill. This blog follows my experiences in the outdoors as an aspirant instructor.

A Cold Warm Up

Craig and I went up to the Ben today and I was able to bag my first winter route of the season. We headed to see what looked good as a nice warm up route to start the season off, then quickly decided on a wee wonder up Tower Ridge.

The route had plenty of snow however not much of the snow has consolidated, therefore making progress difficult. There was one other team on the route and there were a few teams heading up to the Coire na Ciste area.

About Me

Climbing is my first passion and I have been going into the hills since I was twelve.
Since then I have always been an outdoor enthusiast. As well as being Chairman of Nevis Canoe Club, I am also a member of Lochaber Athletics Club.
I enjoy all outdoor activities because I find they take you to places where you just shouldn't go!
I am trying to make a full time career from teaching these sports. I really enjoy passing on these skills and giving people a chance to experience something they wouldn't normally have the chance to do.
